Folwell Elementary Vision and Hearing Screening

The Rochester Public School's Licensed School Nurses
will be starting district-wide vision and hearing screenings. Screenings
at Folwell Elementary will be done on Thursday, November 1, 2018.

Hearing screenings will be done on:

All 1st graders and those students in
grades 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th who do not have a screening on
file with Rochester Public Schools or who have failed their previous
screening.

Kindergarten students will be screened, if they
failed their preschool screening.

Students may also self-refer or be referred by the
parent/guardian, or by staff members to rule out a hearing or vision
concern.

Vision and hearing are critical to learning and the RPS
health staff strongly encourages that students be screened.

If you wish
to decline either of the screenings, please contact Nurse Kelly
at keleadens@rochester.k12.mn.us
or call your child’s building by
Tuesday, October 30, 2018.
Please indicate your child’s name, grade and teacher, along with which
screening you do not want us to do.

If your child is screened, you will only be contacted, if
we believe your child may need a professional evaluation.
